Do you need to be a math genius to become a Physicist? I know a "math genius" is the wrong term, but you get the picture. I am currently a freshmen in college and have gotten an A in intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, College Trigonometry, and Calculus I. I feel very comfortable with the subjects we learned in these courses. However, when it comes to the difficult problems I tend to need help seeing how to set them up and solving them, but then I have no problem solving them on my own. Would this be a problem down the road if I go into Physics?
The only two careers I would consider going into are Physics or Medicine, but my interest in Medicine is not even close to my interest in Physics. I find myself neglecting to study my biology in order to self teach myself Physics. However, I have a 97 percent in the course even though I usually do not study much at all. As you can see, I understand Biology very well. The fact that I am able to understand Biology so well, but I need to struggle to understand the diffuclt problems in mathematics worries me a little bit.
Do you think, from the small amount of information I gave you, that I am capable of studying Physics? I guess I am just worried that I would fail if I go into Physics. By the way, if I went into Physics, I would go into graduate school. Should I try to take the Freshmen Physics courses first just to see if I enjoy them or not? Thanks in advance!
